6. With an additional restriction, a finite source whose spectral degree of coherence is a function of kρ′ rather than of ρ′ is said to be a scaling law source. Such a source generates a field whose normalized far-zone spectrum is the same as the normalized source spectrum (cf. Ref. 4, Sec. 5.8.3).
